Excerpt: "Like a giant scrapbook, the Internet offers many opportunities to share activities that take place within the physical library. It is appropriate for library websites to display images of children's artwork, poetry, and stories, and even photographs of children involved in library activities. However, including such elements requires additional considerations. It is strongly recommended that a signed parental release form be obtained for each photograph of a child (and child-created work) before it is displayed online. in addition, you will want to be particularly careful not to provide information that when combined with a photograph could enable contact with a child. To avoid potential problems, use first names only and add the first letter of a last name only when necessary. Under no circumstances should a photo of a child's face appear on your site unless a signed parental release form has been obtained."
